Great 1-2-1 tuition. - Great tuition with a friendly instructor who put me at ease. The location and facilities are ideal. They worked hard to fit me in when it was needed to cancel due to high wind.

Fantastic morning on the water! - Excellent 1:1 coaching. It helped with my confidence on the board and I learned to self rescue. Alex was extremely friendly and knowledgable. I would highly recommend this.

Awesome time! - Technically I did not go solo. My dog Bingo came along and Alex looked after and instructed us both in a fabulous manner. Neither of us had ever been on a paddle board before and we both loved it due to her easy confident and kind manner. We will be back to introduce others to her and paddleboarding

So much fun and great instructor to get you up and going - Wow what an experience. Considering first time doing this plenty of time on the water to enjoy your new skills. Alex is fab, lovely welcome and friendly and fun throughout your time there, explains everything well and is always on stand by to assist. We had loads of time on the water and Alex fills you with so much confidence and technics that you are up and running in no time. We just had the best time and would love to rebook to experience the Safari now. 10 out of 10 experience

Brilliant session! - A brilliant 1-1 session with Alex. Felt slightly anxious on arrival, but Alex's warm welcome and sense of humour immediately put me at ease. I'm not a complete beginner - but had lost a little confidence on the water and wanted to improve my paddle technique as I'd never had a formal lesson before. We went back to basics and I learnt some new skills. We had an enjoyable paddle on a beautiful calm stretch of the River Avon which is a perfect setting for beginners. If you are looking for a beginner or improver lesson with a great coach, I would highly recommend booking. Wittering SUP is the perfect place to learn and gain confidence on the water safely.

Alex and James are great teachers - I was very nervous my husband thought I was going to get back in the car, but Alex introduced herself and put me at ease. She is so good and got me standing really quick I also learned how to manoeuvre the paddleboard. Self Rescue is very hard for me but im not giving up , Roll on next week

Step-back turn coaching session - I am just starting out SUP racing and having managed without learning how to do a step-back turn before, I found myself struggling on a new rigid board. Alex broke down the movement really clearly and I was quickly getting the hang of it. Lots of great advice and feedback on how to improve going forward.
The location was perfect. Deep, clear water meaning falling in (which I did my fair share of) was not an issue. We had a lot of fun, and it massively improved my confidence moving around the board.
I can't wait to get back out to practice again.
